Chapter 30 (2)

Amira walked slowly towards Shahrukh and Kajol who were looking at her with mixed feelings and tons of questions. Kajol looked back at Shahrukh who was silently fixing his eyes on his sister, Kajol looked back at Amira; nearly dropping her jaw. The three of them stood silently looking at each other.

'Please say something' Amira finally said with a short smile breaking the silence. Kajol surprisingly started looking angry at her and folded her arms before her chest 'I know how angry you are. And I don't blame you' she said calmly looking at them, unlike Kajol, Shahrukh was looking calm and numb 'I know you are' she said looking at Shahrukh

'Do you think so?' Kajol asked raising an eyebrow

'I know I shouldn't have left you back with just a piece of paper, and I know you deserved a better way of explanation' Amira said with tears starting to form in her eyes, she sniffled and talked again 'I would really love to see Rani and Preity. I really miss them' she said trying to decrease the tension

'Why aren't you saying anything?' Amira asked Shahrukh who was still looking silently at her

'Shahrukh, are you okay?' Kajol asked kindly and he nodded silently

'Won't you talk to me?' Amira asked Shahrukh sadly, Kajol looked sadly at Shahrukh waiting for him to say anything

'Shahrukh' Kajol nearly whispered helplessly

'Shahrukh' Amira said begging 'please speak to me, say anything; insult me if you want, get angry at me. Do anything; but don't keep looking silently at me like that'

Kajol shrugged and sighed 'maybe later, don't push him' she said calmly and patted over Shahrukh's shoulder

'fine' Amira said calmly wiping a tear rolling down her cheek 'I'll just leave'

'Wait' Shahrukh finally uttered and both Kajol and Amira looked back at him feeling surprised 'don't leave' he said calmly 'say whatever you want to say to Kajol first because we will need to talk for a longer time; I am sure you have a lot of things to say'

Amira half smiled 'yes, I have a lot to say' she said feeling embarrassed and continued 'I know that you must be furious for leaving you behind like that and leaving you so suddenly. You have the right to be angry at me or even hate me. I won't blame you. All I want you to know that I did this only for...' she was interrupted by a hug from Kajol

'Shh. I forgive you' Kajol said kindly and looked back at Shahrukh 'I am sorry but I couldn't resist it. She has a great effect on me' she said jokingly and surprisingly he smiled. Amira widened her eyes on seeing Shahrukh smile 'that's a good sign' Kajol commented and smiled 'So, are you coming back home with us finally?' she asked happily. Amira smiled nervously and Kajol sighed 'Okay. I will leave you guys alone. I am sure you have a lot of things to share, and I will go tell Rani and Preity' she said sweetly and walked away.

'I don't think we will talk while we are standing' he said calmly

'let's sit on these stairs' she said pointing at the stairs, they walked towards it and sat away from the funeral

'I am all ears' he asked when they were seated

Amira sighed 'It is a long story' she said

'We have the time, unless if you are planning to leave again' Shahrukh said coldly and looked away

'No, there is no more running away' she said smiling sadly

'Where is Preity? I have important things to tell you guys' Kajol asked Rani

'I lost her in the crowd, let's search for her' Rani said and they looked around to find Preity
